PRESENTING THE PRESENTERS: HIFLY.DK

HIFLY is an overall outlet for cultural tendencies. Not only is it a site for music but also a source for things and trends happening around the global clubbing/electronic scene.

On the frontpage you'll always find flyers for the most recent events in Denmark and a stream of short blurps about the freshest music and other oddities around.

Founded back in 2006 and run on a daily basis by Lars Gregers and Klaus Boss it has quickly established itself as the foremost Danish site for electronic music and the culture surrounding the phenomenon.

A lot of external media benefit from the vast base of user-generated knowledge to cover many a cultural subject. It's a place where people interact and discuss a lot of thing not necessarily connected directly to music. The vibrant diversity is what has made it become succesful and continously maintain its position.

Together with LoMidHigh and CultureBox, Hifly.dk presents Arena 6: TECHNO at this year's RAW.

CONFIRMED FOR RAW 2010: RONIN & MARONE

Ronin & Marone have been around on the local and global club scene for more than a decade.

Childhood friends, they started out DJing in the mid 90s and then began promoting their own events. This culminated in RAW, first as part of the Urbanical Crew, then as Copenhagen's Most Wanted - and together with OHOI! Thus, they are today at the pinnacle of the Danish clubbing scene with residencies at clubs such as NASA, Nord & Park Nightclub. They are among Denmark’s most wanted and busiest DJs with a solid reputation for full-on banging House/Electro sets.

The international breakthrough came with Ronin’s victory in the global DJ competion Heineken THIRST 2005. On the way to becoming the global winner of THIRST 2005, Ronin won both the Copenhagen, Denmark and Europe heats of the competition, finally taking the trophy in Cape Town, South Africa, January 2006.

Since then Ronin & Marone have been working full time DJing, producing and organizing spectacular parties and events. They have shown their skills, together and individually, around the world, from Zouk (Singapore) to Tao (Las Vegas) & Pacha (Ibiza) to Maria (Berlin), spinning alongside the likes of Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo, Bookashade, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, Fedde Le Grand, Armand Van Helden, Soulwax & Mylo, to name but a few.

At the moment they are working out of their studio in Copenhagen getting new tracks ready to release this spring, and remixing and bootleggin' tracks to blend in with their unique DJ sets.

PRESENTING THE PRESENTERS: HEST/PONY

There's a wicked horse in town. And it sure has some prominent riders to show off when it trots through Copenhagen late at night.

The brain child behind Hest/Pony is Simon Olsson, a connoisseur/provocateur on the Danish clubbing scene who has been active for a couple of years, but really nailed it with a series of hugely successful parties at the in-tavern Dunkel since 2009.

With Hest/Pony, Simon (aka Psi-Mono) is engaged in a deconstruction of boundaries for the sprawling scene that some call Dubstep, setting free its horsepower on any field, whether adjacent or far-flung... as long as its not wobble and brostep, aight?
